Really liked him as a player for us. Another one who left and never really hit the heights again

Thought it was Andrew Ridgeley.

[Patrick Bateman]

Well this is by far the best match so far. Shame it's so late.

[HnycS]

Is there a full eleven of current and former Saints at the World Cup?

Seen so far Larin, Adams, Gunn any others?

[HnycS]

Guess Stewart is also in the Scotland squad if he comes on and scores in the last 15 minutes as Larin did, it will be a huge co-incident.

Haiti v Scotland is like watching 2 champship teams. Should be 2-1. I thought Scotland would walk this easily.

Stewart, Livramento, Mane, Van Dijk, Sugawara, Caleta-Car, Koeman, Poch

Nice, except with Gunn in goal would be lucky to get out the group stage, as will Scotland 😄.

So as long as Koeman and Poch can play mid, we have a team.

There are never any easy games at the World Cup. Considering our record in the World Cup (NZ / Costa Rica), a result is all that is required.

Great take from Che Adams for the goal.

Nervous 30 minutes I think

Are we counting academy prospects? Then Musiala 😁

Scotland scrape through and the commentators sound like they're going to ejaculate. It sounded like he said "Scotland have won the World Cup!" - there was probably an "in" after "won" but that's not what it sounded like.

42nd v 83rd in the FIFA rankings.  

The win's the important thing, regardless of how unconvincing. That came from a big deflection in the 28th minute, and a lot of hanging on in that second half.

There's something rather civilised about watching the WC at 5am. Before the world wakes, and obligations kick in.

Aussies doing a great job 2-0 so far, was a cracking 2nd goal as well, turks cannot get past the aussie goalie

Bet there's a few other parents with toddlers/babies watching Turkey v Australia.

Turkey have somehow managed to lose one of the most one sided games I've seen in a while.

[Convict Colony]

Yeah agree but actually enjoyable watching the Aussie fully committed defence and the counter attack for the 2nd goal.

To get the win over Turkey the aussies are in a good spot already in this group with Paraguy and US to come

[SNSUN]

I guess that's probably "shock of the tournament" so far, I had Turkey to beat Australia but there you are.

He's already been at Munich as a young prospect. He's raw but can see him getting better. 

Think Watford will do well to keep hold of him.
